iOS Simulator Camera Mobile

The iOS Simulator has no camera, which means you normally need a physical device to test video streaming with Fishjam.

SimCam is a macOS app that injects a virtual camera into the simulator. It works through standard AVFoundation APIs, so @fishjam-cloud/react-native-client picks it up without any changes to your code.

What SimCam provides

  • Live camera feed: your Mac's camera streamed into the simulator
  • Video file: a video clip you can replay for consistent test scenarios
  • QR code: inject QR codes without holding a phone up to the screen

Getting started

  1. Download and install SimCam from simcam.swmansion.com.
  2. Launch SimCam and pick a camera source.
  3. Run your app in the simulator. The virtual camera shows up just like a real one.
